For stiffened bows users!!! I am starting to make a line of stiffened bows, but I have no clue how to mail them without being messed up... That's the reason I have been postergating to offer that line...:rolleyes: Suggestions??? I will really appreciate it!!!!!!;) |
I think bubble wrap would be ok and ask the PO to hand stamp them. I know Connie mails hers in alittle box. |

I've ordered stiffened bows before and they just came wrapped in bubble wrap in a small padded envelope. I have also ordered some that came in a small "jewelry" type light weight box and that was placed inside a padded envelope. |
I wouldn't use the boxes myself. I think bubble wrap and had stamping would be ok. Send me one and I will review it,Do you have any made? I will purchase one.QUOTE=Isabel;1669945]I've been looking for boxes, but no luck... any suggestions?? And also would not like to increase the shipping cost...:confused:[/QUOTE] |

Those jewelryn boxes you can usually get at supply houses. You should also be able to get them at any of the stores that has left over sales from Christmas boxes. They are pretty lightweight. |

Thats how the ones I always order for Slade come too. The boxes are really light, so it shouldn't increase much, if at all. |
Does anybody have a pic of the boxes?? Could you post it for me??? PWEATTY PWEASE?????:D |
A long time ago someone suggested using those tiny ziplock containers. I bet you could get them at the dollar store. Someone also said that baby food comes in those now? So maybe if you know someone uses that kind of baby food? Try www.papermart.com or www.nashvillewraps.com for box options. Also if you are just shipping a FEW right now, they do have the boxes at Michaels/JoAnns but they are pricey for the 6 or 8 that you get. But, maybe it's worth trying esp. with a 40% off. |
Also what about those "pillow" boxes they sell for wedding favors. |
Sorry for all the replies. Found this: http://www.botanicalpaperworks.com/A...ox+Favors/275/ Also, most elementary schools have something called an Ellison die-cut machine. They typically have these punches. My mom's school has 4 or 5 - she made all my favors for my wedding. Scrapbooking stores do too. You might check with any teacher friends or local stamp/scrapbook stores. |
I would not use an envelope even if you use bubble wrap... While thinking of how many items have gotten smashed during shipping of Ebay items, I would NOT recommend just using an envelope, even if it is the padded envelope. You need some type of cardboard or plastic that will form around the bow....the whole point is for the "poof" not to be smashed.... I guess you could stuff the poof with something like a lipstick top, or maybe a small , roller, curlers, or sponge curlers......just trying think of the right diameter.... I woulld almost go to the dollar store and look for something you could cut into pieces...... Maybe go on Ebay and buy one.....I saw some today as a matter of fact....see how the others are shipping theirs..... Good luck! :) |
